The Graduate Thesis is meant to establish a “permanent intellectual dis-quiet,”asking you to act and re-act, search and re-search (Freire, 1985, p.3). TheThesis is an applied, research-driven manuscript that (a) best meets the futureeducational needs of the graduate student upon completion of the GraduateProgram, and (b) serves as a graduate capstone documenting the link betweentheory/research and practice/application. The Thesis is the culminating scholarlywork, requiring the application, synthesis, and critical evaluation of yourgraduate studies. The graduate thesis must be original, research-based work.
